I'm super super excited, there are some amazing joining offers and shopping offers launching next week. I am just so excited, and I can't wait to welcome new members to my ever growing team/club members.

Want to know more, then check back on the 1st for all the info.

Anyway today's card is a conditioned card for my Mil's friend Lorna.

She lurves pink. The pinker the better. And my mil, loves the peacock stamp. So I've combined them again.

I've heat embossed the peacock in white, having used my embossing buddy first.

I also heat embossed the sentiment, before punching out.

I finished this of with some basic jewels randomly dotted everywhere.

I hope you like this one.

I'm off having a girlie weekend with friends, and look forward to sharing another pink creation with you tomorrow.

Have a great day.

P.s. Don't forget you can order 24/7 from my online shop by clicking the shop with me button. Thanks to all my customers who do and who use the hostess code. Your custom is always much appreciated.

So on Monday I talked about the colour coach and how much it has helped me when I've been stuck. I was challenged on Monday to just open it and then go with whatever colours appeared.

I opened it at Always Artichoke. - Green ........ hmm not a colour I work with a lot. So turning it over it showed Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Always Artichoke paired together.

OK.

I also challenged myself to use the Six sided sampler set ....... I don't own this now, but I will soon. I really didn't like it. Too geometric, out of my comfort zone. What would I use that for.

How wrong was I. I love it. Love the way you can create amazing backgrounds with it. Gorgeous.

Anyway here's today's card - its the last of the three I created and I am really pleased with this one.

I have used the co-ordinating punch to punch out random areas of the stamped cardstock to create apertures in the pattern. I have also stamped below these panels. This time I have again punched out the sentiment and added some white bakers twine and a jewel.

I have used my Stampa-ma-jig when making all of these cards and I have really loved it. Watch this space I have a feeling there may be more six sided sampler cards to come.

Hope you like it. If you want to have a go at this and need supplies simply hop over to my shop and order them. It couldn't be easier, just click the link

Anyway here's today's card. This was the second card that I created and I have to say I really love this one. I love the clean spaces and the geometric design at the bottom of the card. Of course you could use this one portrait and make the pattern down one side. I have added some linen twine and some basic jewels to lift this card to the next level.

This set will definitely be falling into my shopping basket in October.

Hope you like it. If you want to have a go at this and need supplies simply hop over to my shop and order them. It couldn't be easier, just click the link

PS Don't forget the weekly deals this week, or that you can still earn a free stamp set.

I randomly select a colour. Quite often with my eyes averted so I can't influence the decision.

On the back of each colour swatch are two sets of suggestions of matching colours.

These suggestions can firm the basis of your next project.

As you can see there are some lovely colour combinations.

What would you make with these colours ....... I have some lovely ideas, and I am also borrowing a stamp set from a friend to try out before I buy.

Which set ..... Oh sorry, the set is Six Sided Sampler. It's a set of hexagon stamps with three lovely sentiments. So it's not soft and flowing lines, doesn't seem pink and girlie, so wasn't something I dashed to buy. Gutting really, as it also has a matching punch. And I am now loving it, so guess what is on my must have list.

I have made three cards with the set. All using a set of 4 colours chosen with the colour coach.

Check back on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to see my creations.

But for today, I'm off to my flower arranging course.

Here's the arrangement I made at Eden last week

I'm loving my weekly excursion to flowers from paper. What do you do instead of card making. I'd love to know.

Leave a comment with your blog address showing your other interests and I'll hop over and have a look.
